About this mod

A recreation of my LE Character Preset Danariel Stormbow.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Donations
I've uploaded 3.0, the lips and eyes are much closer to the original.

For those who still find Ethereal Elven Overhaul indispensable for their playthrough, I've now uploaded the definitive Danariel Stormbow preset under Optional Files. EEO is REQUIRED for this one.  You must download the LE mod and the patches for SE, please read the instructions on both mods carefully. If you want the EEO preset with Lips and/or muscle map, download the appropriate Main File, too.


The Follower has been PORTED!
 VRDaphni did such a beautiful job of translating my preset into a stand alone follower with SO MANY OPTIONS, and bchick3 ported it to SSE!

There's now an updated ECE version, as well, Danariel Stormbow SE ECE.

The updated LE version for RaceMenu is here: Danariel Stormbow RaceMenu Preset.


REQUIRED MODS:

These can be installed, in order, in Nexus Mod Manager.

1. SKSE (it's required for RaceMenu and the preset function)
2. RaceMenu by expired6978 (latest version)

OPTIONAL MODS (to get the look):

3. Next, you need to install your body mod of choice. The body I'm using is Dream Girl Complete SE by Petrovich, ported by DanielTDrea. Before that, I used UNP Female Body Renewal by dimon99, ported by reiz0 (with SG skin by hellosanta); or UNP Blessed Body SE by xp32, ported by Shiva182; or Caliente's Beautiful Bodies Enhanced by Caliente and ousnius. Dream Girl's deformation in poses is second to none - in my opinion, it's better than UNP or any of its variants, though DG is rather on the slender side. I play an Archer/Ranger type, so that's perfect for me.

4. Install UNP Female Textures Renewal or SG Female Textures Renewal - CBBE by hellosanta and ported by reiz0 and Shiva182, there are versions for CBBE, Sevenbase, UNP, and UNPB. I installed all the makeup, as well. If you'd like the abs/muscles, install that in the options for UNP Female Textures Renewal or SG Female Textures Renewal - CBBE. Women of Skyrim SE CBBE and UNP by zzjay and Shiva182 has a Dream Girl patch, as well, though no muscles. Alternatively, you can use any skin texture of your choice, though YMMV. Fair Skin Complexion by HHaleyy is gorgeous as well, though it doesn't mix well with my lip textures, so use the first download for it.

If you use Dream Girl with SG Female Textures, you'll want the LE skin textures, too. Female Body Textures for Dream Girl and SG Face by neovinci for the hand textures ONLY. I've included a version with the Muscle Map from Barbarian/Milkdrinker Skin (which is sadly no longer on the Nexus) by HoneyVanity that I modified to fit DG's smaller breasts and match Dream Girl's wrists , as well as the older version of SG Female Textures Renewal's face normal to match the neck seam. Allow the textures to overwrite your SG Textures files. Uploaded with permission.

The eyes are from The Ningheim Race by Seren4XX. I copied the texture I wanted, gave it the longer, thicker eyelashes from HN66s Long Eye Lashes, and saved it as one of the most used Wood Elf eyecolors. Uploaded with permission.

The lip masks I created for BellaGail's Better Females using Xenius' lip mask as a base.

5. The hair pack I use is KS Hairdos SSE by Kalilies. The name of the specific hair is Moonrise; it's #332 in my game. The feathers in her hair are available to download outside the Nexus, Google Harvest Feathers and Jasmine Flowers. It's the link to ZZShop.

6. I also use Kai's Makeup and Warpaints by XarathosHawke (which hasn't been ported, but the LE version works fine) in my screenshots for the eye shadows, and Havok's RaceMenu Makeup Overlays (Lipstick) by TwinHavok, but only for a little extra shine to the lips. If you like the tattoos, I use UNP AND CBBE Racemenu SE Collection of Tattoos Warpaints and Overlays by various authors, and uploaded in the collection by ropya. All downloads include a version with the tattoos and makeup, too.

7. The outfits are from the Spice Gear Collection, by tiwa44, ported to SE. Dream Girl Mini Spice Collection ported by DanielTDrea, UNP and UNPB Spice Gear ported by Gothpunk4Christ, and CBBE Spice Gear Collection ported by Gigist.

Then, after all these have been installed, install the preset file of your choice. Allow it to overwrite when prompted. 

Go into ~showracemenu, choose Sex (female) and Race (Wood Elf.) Make sure the slider for Preset Slot is on 0, click on Presets in the upper right corner, hit F9 to load presets, find the one for Danariel, and click on it.  

Tweak to your own tastes, then Save and name your character. Feel free to upload your Danariel-based screenshots, though try to keep them SFW! I'm trying to keep from having to turn on the NSFW flag here.

Currently using The Truth ENB. It has the best Night Vision fix I've found so far.
